snakeskin and glitter

Does anyone recall the first time they held a snake? Initially I was a little bit shaken but upon the first touch, I quickly discovered it was so different to what I had expected. It was warm, exceptionally soft and smooth, and had a heavy mass about it that was strangely soothing, when it coiled around your shoulders and arms. Besides the tactile aspects, I've always loved the beautiful pattern formed by intricate grooves and scales on its skin, twisting and turning with every movement in a mesmerising, almost hypnotic way.

I love how this bodycon dress wraps around my body, and the way the snakeskin print bends and changes with the slightest turn, just like it would on the real thing. I popped a blazer on top to tone down the bold and eye-catching print, and added some matching blue and gold accessories :)

Snakeskin dress: Courtesy of Supre (link here- on sale for only $10!!)

I remember the first time I helf a snake! Haha, it was during a school excursion to Taronga and it wasn't as slippery as I thought it would be. It was definately smooth, and very calm, I had this sinking idea that it would snap back and sink its fangs into me for a while haha. I think a snake is pretty hypnotic, but even though its organic in its movements.. there's something unnatural about the way it sliters? Get me? Okey I make no sense haha. Rocking red lips (bonus points) This bodycon dress is so flattering on you! The print does work itself as a second skin, aye? The pop of colour from the blazer is perfect, I'm actually surprised Supre had a lovely marine-coloured blazer. Gorgeous as always :)

I love your write up about the snake experience, i know exactly what your talking about :) This dress is realllllly realistic ( Can't believe It's on sale for 10$ only) It does bring a really nice rap around and looks completely smooth like real skin, love it. Love your accessories too that arrow ring is amazing (I'm a sag), and your snake bracelet <333

Thanks for your lovely comment (: You know, I've neer held a snake but you almost make me feel like I want it. So now I keep wondering what it would feel like. Oh, and I love your outfit. It's gorgeous! xx

Love the outfit Izzy! You have such a nice figure! HahaAnd as for holding a snake... I like reptiles, and the first time I touched one I was quite surprised as to how smooth they really were too. They look scaly but are in fact not!

That's what I miss about going into cold weather: dark nails! I love that color, and it matches perfectly with your look. I do remember the first time I held a snake. i was in the 6th grade, and I thought it was so cool. I've always loved snakes. Hate spiders and bugs, but I love snakes. They are very cool pets. Anyway, love your dress. You look so good in it, and I love it with the blue blazer! <3

hello beauty =) and again you show us a gorgeous look! loving the dark blue shades! i love snakes & holding one was a great esperience for sure! although i have to admit that i'm not that into snake skin prints..but the dress suits you very well!

This is style perfection for me - I wouldnt have been sure what colour jacket to style with snakeskin so this is great to keep in mind if I ever get my hands on a dress like this ;) .. p.s HOT hot hot outfit!

The first time I touched a snake was when I was in year 5 on a school excursion. I was asked to look after the snake because I was sitting closest to the little tree that the snake was on. I totally freaked out, I was terrified and it was rather embarrassing. That was my first and only encounter.

Stunning outfit as always. The dress is so incredible flattering and blue is your colour. I love the sparkles and everything is so well coordinated. What a lovely background too. Love your makeup and I desperately want your hair!

I think I'm to scared to touch a snake... but overcome your fear is also important, well done! This outfit is well balanced like you said! I personally love this shoes and your juwelry! http://designthestyle.blogspot.be

This dress looks so good on you, the print is amazing! I also have a snake-patterned dress, it's not so tight but still very pretty. I also love the clutch, very classy :) You did a very good job again, it's always a pleasure to look at your outfits :)

Oh wow, the blazer you're wearing here is absolutely gorgeous, such a lovely shade! Love the way you've accessorized this outfit, too; the clutch and shoes are such a great combination!I still haven't tried out any snakeskin garments, but I'm definitely tempted to, now I've seen this dress xx

This is probably the best animal print pattern outfit I've seen yet. I usually find a lot of animal prints/snake prints to be borderline tacky looking, but you pulled it off so well and you make it look so sophisticated! The blazer made everything pull together in a professional sense, too :) Just gorgeous!

P.S. I don't think I've touched a snake before, but I imagine they would be smooth :)

You look beautiful Izzy! Blue is definitely a great color on you. The dress looks amazing btw; it really hugs all of your curves and the snakeprint is really nice. I'm super envious of your blue blazer....actually your entire outfit in general!

What's your take on open toed shoes with stockings/tights? I thought that was supposed to be a fashion faux pas?

Anyway, I just discovered your blog and I am so happy!! I am a fellow legal fashionista! :) I actually just graduated from a top law school in the U.S. and I am a fashion law blogger so I would love to get your opinion of my blog. -I also blog about career fashion <3

You look gorgeous as always!!Evey new post you gets better and better and you are lucky to have a boyfriendwish such great skills with the camera haha :)Really like your posts.Have a good day sweet kiss from Brazil :)www.scarlletgs.blogspot.com

I can't express properly how much I like this outfit! That clutch! Your nails! Love that blue! It looks perfect with your hair colour too! The whole ensemble is just perfect in my eyes! I know this sounds weird but to me is like art, like a beautiful painting. And they say clothes/fashion/style can only be superficial! <3
